Any significant delay in putting the plan into action is likely to cost our communities <br /> millions of dollars in additional interest payments. <br /> <br /> We simply must reduce to an absolute minimum, the overflow of untreated wastewater <br /> into our river systems. It is unconscionable for us to take relatively pristine water from the <br /> McKenzie River and related aquifers and discharge, on an occasional basis, the <br /> untreated wastes of our communities because we find it inconvenient or "too costly" to <br /> deal with the fact that we continue to build and develop in this watershed. With <br /> development comes public obligation to our children and to communities downstream. <br /> <br /> I don't think this topic would be receiving nearly as much criticism if it were about a <br /> community upstream from Eugene and Springfield. Imagine a community of 200,000 <br /> people, 10 miles upstream from us, that was quibbling over whether they would deal <br /> appropriately with their wastewater. <br /> <br /> Thank you for this opportunity to encourage a positive action on the part of our local <br /> government. <br /> <br /> Jim Maloney <br /> <br /> 4391 Shadow Wood Drive <br /> <br /> Eugene, OR 97405 <br /> <br />fi~e://C:\D~cuments%2~and%2~Settings\CEE~ELF\L~ca~%2~Settings\Temp~rary%2~~nt... 6/23/2004 <br /> <br /> <br />
